DHARAMSHALA, October 30: The US ambassador to China has broken his silence on the ongoing wave of self-immolations in Tibet and urged China to re-examine policies which have led to the current situation.

Gary Locke’s comments come after the deadliest week of self-immolations, which saw seven Tibetans burn themselves demanding the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama from exile and freedom in Tibet.
